DEAR DEIDRE: I LOVE my boyfriend but we hardly see each other any more.
We’ve been together for 18 months and now he just wants to go out with his mates.
He never comes to my house unless he’s drunk and wants sex.
He lives with his mum and brothers and expects me to travel there to see him, but we never get time alone when I get there.
I am 22 and he is 25. He treats me better than previous boyfriends.
I love him so much I don’t want to break up with him.
He says he wants to “take things slow” and I’m scared to say how I feel.
DEIDRE SAYS: I suspect he knows he is short-changing you and doesn’t care enough to change – so you should not stay in a relationship where you are afraid to say how you feel.
He may treat you better than other guys but you deserve far better.
